Clark County

Sale typeWhat you actually buy. A lien sale gives you a claim on the property and the owner keeps it for now; a deed sale transfers the property itself. A redeemable deed transfers ownership but still gives the former owner time to pay you back. See the full glossary for more terms.

deed

NRS 361.585; NRS 361.595

Interest / penaltyWhat you earn when the owner redeems. Interest is a rate paid over time; a penalty is usually a one-time percentage of the tax or redemption amount. A rate that is bid down during the auction is still interest. See the full glossary for more terms.

10% per annum, assessed monthly (NRS 361.570)

NRS 361.570(2)(b)

RedemptionHow long the former owner has to repay the debt and keep the property after the sale. Your money stays tied up until this window closes, so a long period can mean a multi-year wait on a lien. See the full glossary for more terms.

2 years after first Monday in June (1 year if abandoned)

NRS 361.570(1)

Bid methodHow the winner is chosen: bidding the interest rate down, bidding a premium above the amount owed, a random or rotating draw, or simply buying at the minimum bid. See the full glossary for more terms.

Parcels in this county

No parcels listed yet.

1. 1.Delinquency is certified: the tax receiver publishes notice and issues a trustee's certificate describing each delinquent parcel to the county treasurer, who holds it for two years (one year if the parcel was determined abandoned) unless redeemed (NRS 361.565, 361.570(1))
2. 2.If the parcel is not redeemed, the tax receiver deeds it to the county treasurer in trust for the State and county (NRS 361.585(1))
3. 3.Watch for the board of county commissioners' order directing the treasurer to sell a described parcel, and the notice of sale stating the day, time and place (NRS 361.595(2), (3))
4. 4.Buy from the county treasurer for not less than the taxes, costs, penalties and interest stated in the order; the treasurer delivers a quitclaim deed discharged of the trust (NRS 361.595(5))
5. 5.Record the deed at your own expense before delivery, since an unrecorded deed is void against a later good-faith purchaser (NRS 361.595(7), (10))
6. 6.The alternative investor route is an owner-authorized lien assignment: the owner signs a notarized authorization, the assignee posts a $500,000 bond, and the assignee tenders the full delinquent amount in cash or by certified check, money order or wire transfer (NRS 361.7311(1), 361.7312(1), 361.7314(1))

Nevada's chapter 361 does not set up a competitive auction for real property tax liens: the county treasurer holds delinquent parcels under a trustee's certificate, then sells trust property by board order for at least the taxes, costs, penalties and interest, and lien assignments happen only on the owner's written authorization with a $500,000 bond. Because the statutes fix no bidder registration, deposit, forms or payment terms for the treasurer's sale, those fields are unknown; some counties publish their own sale procedures and online bidding systems.
